“A gift can change a student’s life. It can change the lives of a student’s family. Your donation has the potential to change the trajectory of an entire family.”

 – Herbert A. Medina, Provost & Professor of Mathematics

98% of students at UP receive financial aid in a normal year. This year, the need is even greater, as many students and their families have suffered financial setbacks and hardship due to the impacts of COVID-19. But the University of Portland remains committed to helping our incredible students hold onto their dreams of a UP education.

Because of the thousands of donors who support UP each year, teams across campus have been able to make the necessary changes to prioritize needs and ensure that all students stay on track for graduation. You can help by making a gift toward tuition assistance, the Presidential Hope Fund, or the University of Portland Fund — all of which allow the University to respond to the immediate needs of students.

If your student is in need of support at this time, please reach out and learn more about the aid they can receive. Emergency funding is available for students experiencing a financial emergency or unanticipated expenses that cause financial hardship.
